How to create the custom deployment slot in Azure Function App by returning the function app site address to Azure Static Web Apps Configuration with the option of GitHub Actions?

For every pull request in the GitHub, need the new custom deployment slot created automatically.

To create a custom deployment slot for every pull request in an Azure Static Web Application that contains Function APIs, you can use Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions to automate the process.

Here is an example of how you can use Azure DevOps to create a custom deployment slot for every pull request:

Create a new Azure DevOps pipeline for your Azure Static Web Application.

In the pipeline, add a new task to create a new deployment slot for every pull request.

Use the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell task to create the deployment slot.

Use the Azure App Service Deploy task to deploy the code to the new deployment slot.

Use the Azure App Service Manage task to swap the deployment slots when the pull request is merged.

Further, here is an example of how you can use GitHub Actions to create a custom deployment slot for every pull request:

Create a new GitHub Actions workflow for your Azure Static Web Application.

In the workflow, add a new action to create a new deployment slot for every pull request.

Use the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell action to create the deployment slot.

Use the Azure App Service Deploy action to deploy the code to the new deployment slot.

Use the Azure App Service Manage action to swap the deployment slots when the pull request is merged.

You can also use Azure Functions to create the custom deployment slot dynamically. You can create an Azure Function that is triggered by a webhook from GitHub when a pull request is created. The function can then create the custom deployment slot and return the function app site address to the Azure Static Web Apps Configuration.
